ELI5 what "10 stacks down" means?
I havent heard this phrase before.
I havent heard this phrase before.
Stacks where completely stand-alone applications connected which were not layers of the same protocol/system.
I think that the simple way is to refer to them as stacks now, but if you were raised on LAYERS - refering to OSI as 'stacks' feels foreign.
It appearsthat as we atomoze / containerize various teck, we now thing of them as 'stacks' rather than layers.
It seems that 'layers' are now 'services' rather.
In practice there's only 4 or 5 layers depending on who you ask.
I imagined stacks as tech1+tech2+techN
I just hadnt heard that phrase before...

> I have said before that I believe that teaching modern students the OSI model as an approach to networking is a fundamental mistake that makes the concepts less clear rather than more. The major reason for this is simple: the OSI model was prescriptive of a specific network stack designed alongside it, and that network stack is not the one we use today. In fact, the TCP/IP stack we use today was intentionally designed differently from the OSI model for practical reasons.
